Birdwatching
Since I started photographing birds the wish to learn more about them has grown along the way. I like to keep track of which bird species I have photographed and ticking birds has become one part of my birdwatching. I think the major reason why I like birds is that there are so many approaches of birding like learning to identify species, try to get good photos, understand the birds behaviour, and much more.
